Today, at around 3pm, the last big send-off for our Bb. Pilipinas 2017 Queens will take place at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center. A strictly invitational affair, it will be a 3-in-1 media gathering for Miss Universe Philippines 2017 Rachel Peters (who needs to be in Las Vegas by the 13th at the latest), Bb. Pilipinas Supranational 2017 Chanel Olive Thomas (who should depart for Poland soon) and Bb. Pilipinas Intercontinental 2017 Katarina Rodriguez (who still has a little more elbow room to prepare herself for Sri Lanka).

This is a must-coverage for normannorman.com as BPCI expects Joy Arguil and I to be present at the event. And we will bring the happenings to you as soon as available. 

In the meantime, below is a BTS video clip of the latest photoshoot of Rachel with Raymond Saldaña as recorded by Ron Angeles. Just to whet your appetite. 🙂

    Humility is a sign of strength, not weakness. People with humility possess an inner peace. They’re modest about their achievements, grounded in their values, and they have nothing to prove to others. They’re down to earth, comfortable in their own skin, and quietly proud. Humble people shift their focus from taking to giving, from talking about themselves to listening to others, from hoarding the credit to deflecting the praise, and from being a “know-it-all” to knowing there’s so much more in life worth learning. There’s no ego, no pretense, and certainly no gamesmanship. Humble people are authentic. As C.S. Lewis said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. Mga kababayan, wala na po tayo kelangan pang patunayan. Mas maganda kung ignore na lang mga haters and bashers kasi meron at merong magrereklamo pa din. Andami na ng korona natin, pp apekto pa ba tayo? #missearth #missearth2017 #missuniverse #missuniverse2017 #missworld #missmundo #missuniverso #misstierra #missinternational #missinternacional

  5. I saw her guesting sa GGV….ang ganda ganda nya !!! the face, the body, the styling is so on point. Mas maganda ps sya kay Pia. She is so very ready. I feel good vibes in her. She’ll win.

  6. Totoo po ba? 20+ ND ng ME nag back out na for next year. Maghahanap na naman ng bagong NDs nyan si Madam Lorraine Shocked.

    Are some of them? Sabi sa Misso?

    • Yearly, ganyan naman ang balita… Pero kahulihulihan, sila pa rin ang nagpapadala ng kandidata.

      But if that really happens, wala naman magagawa ang ME kung hindi tanggapin. They are professionals naman at kahit kelan ay hindi nila nilaglag ang mga dating kapartner na bumaikwas sa kanila.

      Personally, malulungkot ako kasi ang tindi ng excitement about ME bago ang final night. Ka-level ng MU. Different international media coverage talaga tapos biglang taas ng tingin ng mga foreign pageant fans sa ME dahil sa napakagandang pre-pageant activity. Dagdag pa yung mismong show, ang ganda talaga, level up! The anticipation was at its highest! All those were lost pagdating ng moment ng mismong coronation.

      *But I want to be clear, hindi ko sinasabing hindi deserve ni Karen ang panalo niya ha. She performed and that’s what matters. Hindi nga lang talaga siya ang personal kong gustong manalo.

    • Let’s assume that this is true. It’s the prerogative of NDs if they will stop franchising for ME. Carousel Productions can’t do anything against it but to accept the decisions of their partners.

      However, just like what happened with MWP, Cory Quirino dropped the franchise and Arnold Vegafria assumed her post as ND of the said pageant. It could be that it is his lifelong dream to organize a prestigious local pageant, or its advocacy is close to his values as a person.

      The same thing will also happen with ME. New holders of the franchise will emerge and they will be sending delegates for future editions to come. Also, each beauty pageant has its own advocacy and that is its core of existence. NDs, new or old, who always believe in the cause to save Mother Earth, will always participate no matter what the outcome is. That is what we call dedication and that alone will satisfy ME’s existence for a very long time.

      • Sure, new NDs can take over. As in Miss Earth Venezuela’s case this year when Alyz and Prince Julio Cesar took over the franchise from Osmel Sousa.

        But it takes a lot of financial resources to launch a national pageant under a new franchise. Alyz and Prince Julio really went all out with their initial Miss Earth Venezuela pageant this year, with Globovision and other investors who they only ended up disappointing with Ninoska’s non-placement in Miss Earth’s top 4. Not sure if they can attract as many sponsors and investors for next year.

        I don’t think ME Venezuela can recover if Alyz and Prince Julio drops their national franchise. I don’t think there are any new potential NDs in Venezuela who are able to take over the franchise at this point, especially given the financial crisis in their country and the credibility problems of Miss Earth among Venezuelans.

  7. Bring home the bacon ladies. Godbless.
    Miss U- top 6
    Miss interc- top 5
    Miss Supr top10

    • You are too conservative.

      Rachel – Top 3 at isang kembot nalang winner na.

      Chanel – Top 5 at cguro kaunting dasal pwede na rin manalo.

      Katarina – Top 5. Medyo mahirap timplahin ang Intercon pero malay natin cya pala ang hinahanap so pwedeng pwede manalo.

      Laura – ramdam ko from Tita Julia cya ay 1st Runner Up. Tudo campaign tlaga si Tito Arni sa MW hosting in 2018 o 2019. Indonesia ang winner this year. At China ang 2nd runner up. Next year na daw ang China manalo para di masyado halata o kung saan maghohost ang Pinas as a symbol of PH-CN renewed friendship.

      Mariel – the curse will be lifted. Top 10 cya. Di matiis ng nga japanese organizers. Or baka nga 1st Runner Up kung di nakapagspeech ang mga itinakda ng maayos.

      So all Philippine bashers.. maghanda kayo! Bring your A game else papakyawin namin ng crowns.

      • Nangarap din lang kayo di nyo pa nilubos. O dapat winner na labat. Sus daming pa kyeme. Miss Earth nga di nahiya mgpa B2B and ipanalo ang pinas every other year eh.

      • Bess, itodo mo na. Lahat sila winner! Pang Guiness world record hahaha…

        Excited much

      • Hahaha well, hindi naman tayo ang may-ari ng MU, MS, MInt, MW and MI kaya nagpakeme ako… kung carousel yan I would say tayo na winner ng lahat this year. Grandslam of the grandslam winner! 🙂

  8. Wow three amazing ladies with different crowns. 1 major crown from KF and 2 minor crowns from Aces.

  9. Elizabeth Clenci will also be there as her welcome back 2nd runner up finish celebration
